When there's just not enough time, and you've got to take that call...

Apparantly this was taken in Tijuana...
Well at least its the guy on the back! damn helmets always get in the way of my calls :guns:
not as bad as one i saw recently. some dude with his helmet pulled off and sitting on top of his head, riding a flashy gixxer down the shoulder of a busy 4 lane road yappin on his 'celly'. HE was the one operating the cycle. dumbass
if that was taken in TJ, its got a bike tag from Hayward, CA.
I dont thik that's TJ.. doesnt look like it, but then my experience with TJ is so little.
Looks like a pre 01 GS from the back.
I wanted to get a hands-free for yacking and riding... I decided that would be stupid. :lol:

There was a good Ellen quote re: hands-free phones - "If you need both hands for something, your brain should probably be in on it, too."
I don't like Ellen.
And... Do we have to go round and round over the phone thing again?
Bottom line: Most people may not be able to multitask, but some can.

The problem is that most people do not accurately put themselves into the correct group.

Rant...rant...rant...
I don't discriminate...I hate telephones of all varieties, but there should be another circle in hell designated for asshat cell users. Like the ones who hold converstations in public restrooms (not standing at the sink, either...ewww). I especially love those that answer the phone to say, "I can't talk right now." Apparently these people haven't heard of voicemail. Oh...and don't forget the ones that will stop mid-sentence when talking in person with a real live human being to answer their cell phone...I guess your conversation wasn't interesting enough, they'd rather talk with whomever it might be on the phone. How 'bout the folks who are on the phone (earbud) without your knowledge while they are also talking to you and then just disappear into another conversation without warning. Sometimes you even get the single finger "one minute" gesture (occasionally followed by pointing to the microphone).
I think it's unnecessary in this forum to rant about cell use while driving...I'm sure many of us have already nearly been killed by someone paying more attention to their phone than their surroundings.
My personal feeling is that cell phones are a disease. Too many people suffer from compulsive cell phone use. Many are unable to not answer their ringing phone...I saw a study recently that stated 14% of people surveyed admitted to answering their cell phone
during sex. If that isn't a mental disorder, I don't know what is.
My favorite button on my cell is the one that drops the incoming call straight to voicemail.
I'm not a big fan of cell phones either. I see people that seem to have them permanently attached to their faces. It's disgusting to me. I carry mine simply as a matter of conveniance, really. If it broke, I wouldn't have any problems or difficulties in the world. I silence (or put it on vibrate) my cell phone in public areas, or if I'm with someone, out on a date, with my friends, etc... I can't stand cell phone rings going off all the time while I walk around. If you keep it in your pocket you should be able to feel it vibe off if you need.
People need to learn to slow things down. They should be able to wait to use their cell phone if they need to.

There's an increasing number of people that wear those rediculous glowy bluetooth earpieces as jewelry.
Oh, and did I mention that if I hear one more of those gawd-awful nextel bleeps at 50dB I'm gonna go postal. People...there is no need to have the volume turned up so loud that everyone in a three mile radius can hear that your girlfriend just found out she's not pregnant, but does have a screaming case of the clap. Just because it works like a walkie-talkie doesn't mean you need to hold it 2 feet from your face and shout into it.
People suck.

I'll be member no. 3, I prefer face-to-face conversations, but I do have fun here.
Phones are there for the convienience of the callee, not the caller; it's up to me wheather or not I want to pick up the phone.

Have we met? :lol:
I don't answer my phone during sex... But, other than that I'm a cellwhore... :thumb:
Like Paris Hilton in "One Night in Paris" when she takes that phone call mid-sex act? Awsome. I really like her.
I'm a cell whore too. If I'm going to do something fun or important, I want everyone to know about it.
I've seen a guy on a cruiser with an open-face helmet talking on a phone.
I don't own a cell phone and don't think I would have much use for one if I did own one.
On the very rare occasion that I leave the house without my cell, I feel like I'm walking around naked... or like a limb fell off.

Why does it matter if the passenger is on a cell? All s/he has to do is sit still.

And the cell phone will offer ample ear protection in the event of an accident.
I have never had a call so urgent that it couldn't wait for me to pull over and take it. And neither have y'all.
I don't know about y'all, but I rarely get a call so urgent that it is even worth listening to the voice mail, letalone pulling over for :P
I just plain don't get calls. My cellphone seems to become more and more useless each day.
